For me the most intriguing and
interesting period in Hammer Film Productions’ long history is from 1970-76. By
this stage Hammer were no longer the despised whipping boys of the critical
cognoscenti but were establishment figures. In a remarkable about turn from the
late 1950’s they were now the acceptable face of the horror genre in British

Beset
by production difficulties, the 1983 Canadian slasher flick Curtains, emerges from the early 80’s
effluent as a quite thoughtful, intelligent, and at times lyrical contribution
to the horror genre. The slasher film is the horror sub-genre that I have the
lowest regard for, so when one comes across my screen that is a little bit

and influential work for cinema. The first screen adaptation came in 1955 with
the peerless French production Les

one of my personal favourites of the cycle. I took a risk on it when I imported
Blue Underground’s DVD release of the film back in 2006. But I’ve always found
that particular distributor to be very reliable in terms of quality and

excellent time for enthusiasts of the anthology format on television. I can
certainly count myself as one of those, as my total inability to follow an
ongoing narrative over twelve or possibly twenty four episodes testifies. It’s
